Life, life, life. Along with the beautiful blossoms come itchy eyes and stuffy nose for me! Along with birthday joy always comes a piece of grief on that day about Scott. Along with spring comes rain. Life is both sweet and sour at the same time. You never get exactly what you want, but then you find out that's because what you wanted is not what you actually needed. How much of life is my choice, how much is chance, how much is some greater design? I don't pretend to have answers for this anymore. I am reminded of the serenity prayer that I say at work several times a day:
I love that life is learning. I love that life is about accepting and knowing that even when you experience the same things over again, it's never actually quite the same. There is a mystery to life that I do not want to solve anymore. There is a risk in really living. It's a rush.
TJ got me Laurie Anderson records and Joni Mitchell for my birthday. I feel spoiled rotten and not as thoughtful. I need to have more space in my life. How do you do that?
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
